[The Seven Deadly Sins] OOC Thread

[WarDragon]

Hmmm... do I want to get more motes, or shoot straight on the prereqs for my custom Shintai...?

 

[shepsquared]

Definitely more charms for me. Can't decide whether I should actually take the attacking ones or delve deeper into my current trees...

 

[SephirothSage]

*Plotting*

 

[Seeker of the End]

Sorry for the delay folks. I was busy home-brewing an anti-solar SMA. >

 

[JayTee]

Any chance I can spend some XP on charms before you try to murder me? :tongue:

 

[Seeker of the End]

Hmm... Nope. We both know that I won't be able to kill you anyway. Even with the OP SMA.

 

[Sherwood]

Woohoo! Getting ready to lay down some serious hurt on these guys.

 

[SephirothSage]

Please do so fast. Before I run out of motes and Die rapidly. xD

 

[Sherwood]

Don't worry. Wren'll come to your rescue, and give that Dynast someone else to play with.

 

[JayTee]

Fair enough. We're still on my ship, right?

 

[Seeker of the End]

Wherever Kyros would be in the middle of the night.

 

[JayTee]

My ship, waiting for any emergency sendings from Wren in case I need to come in and start carpet bombing everything.

 

[shepsquared]

This should be entertaining

 

[WarDragon]

Seeker? I was aiming that blast at the Black, the one running away, not the Blue. Does that make a difference? Probably not, but have to ask...

 

[WarDragon]

JayTee? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe perfect soaks work against surprise attacks anyway. Or does one of your others depend on that?

 

[Seeker of the End]

No it doesn't make a difference. The DB was able to dodge by spending excellencies and channeling virtues.

 

[JayTee]

Surprise Anticipation Technique lets me activate my anti-keyword charms. Perfect Soaks only prevent damage.


(Plus it activates automatically)

 

[SephirothSage]

Query... would anyone be willing to help me get started ahead of time on Aldy's DT Charmset and such, for when he finally does reach it?

 

[WarDragon]

What kind of concept are you going for? The archetypal mad scientist?

 

[SephirothSage]

Indeed, Indeed I am....


With some minor twists, but yes. More of a Mad Sorcerer-Scientist. He really was meant to have Sorcery, but I didn't understand how it worked when I was making him and stuff, so he only picked up the basics so far.

 

[Sherwood]

Wren is quite skilled with sorcery, so if you need a teacher, she can help out.

 

[JayTee]

I'd like to see the text of the charms that are being used against me.

 

[JayTee]

Shit, I'm sorry @Seeker of the End, that came off as accusatory. Let me clarify:


I just want to see them so I can exploit any weaknesses in them so I can end the fight quickly. As much fun as I am having in the game (and I am having fun), the combat engine of Exalted is starting to wear thin on me, and I'm starting to regret speccing my character for combat.


Again, sorry if I came off as accusatory, I'd just like to get back to questing as soon as possible

 

[Seeker of the End]

They're in the VERY ROUGH stage right now and I'm going more for concept than nitty-gritty stuff. I will have it soon enough though.

 

[Seeker of the End]

I can't give you the charm but I can give you the basic effects. Right now the assassin has a charm to hide his identity. It's a shaping effect on himself, not you. His active charms currently halve your soak and can impose an internal penalty on you equal to your own essence until his next action if he penetrates your DV. He also adds bonus successes to any surprise attack.
